He doesn’t say a lot; he’s going to go make a hit, then run back to the huddle and do it again. He is just a great leader like that; lead by example. He’s a young man with a ton of integrity who is a great student. Craig is never about himself. He goes about his business in a very professional way. He is a wonderful young man and will complement any program he is involved with.”
